| Summary: | Cattell's newly revised personality questionnaire (16PF5) was administered to a random group of 900 Church of England parochial clergy in October 1993. The study replicated a previous study using the old version of the 16PF with a population of conference-going Anglican clergy. A number of Cattell's personality factors showed evidence of gender reversal. Contrary to the usual sex differences in personality profile found in general population samples, female clergy were shown to be less outgoing (Factor A), more emotionally stable (Factor C), more dominant (Factor E), less rule-conscious (Factor G), less emotionally sensitive (Factor I), less apprehensive (Factor O) and more open to change (Factor Q1) than male clergy. These findings generally confirm earlier gender reversal studies using the 16PF4 and other instruments. The results are discussed in the light of clergy ministry, suggesting that actual personality characteristics rather than stereotypic gender attributes should determine the spheres in which clergy are deployed. |
